DUBAI PHOTO DIARY

Packing for Dubai: the color theme ended up being oranges, browns & olives. Comfy pink track suit for the flight. Air Canada Signature Suite: I had rose champagne, butter chicken and rice & a vegan brownie before the flight. On board in seat 1K. Yummy dessert before removing my makeup and going to sleep. A few of my in-flight skincare items: mostly MAC, Clinique, Keihl's & Dior. I will be posting the YouTube video shortly. Eye, lip & face masks for when I wake up. Breakfast is served. Landed and headed straight to Buddha Bar. Mint julep cocktail. Bathroom selfie: dress is H&M, shoes are Zara & bag is Louis Vuitton. Long drive to Abu Dhabi in the A.M. Quick weekend trip to Zaya Nurai Island. Champagne at check in before the short boat ride to the villas. Few shots of the villa: look at the view from the bed. LOVE. Wearing Aritzia trousers, a Zara top, Primark sandals & Celine shades. Yummy prawns and hummus for lunch. Cheers to my first cocktail of the day. Working on my tan in a gold metallic bikini from Forever 21. Lounging in the infinity pool. Shower time. Dinner on the island: Mexican. Best margaritas I've ever had. The guac & ceviche were amazing too. Churros for dessert. I got this dress from a boutique in Miami a few years ago, and the shoes are Manolo Blahnik. Birkin + Beachkin. Breakfast with a view. This orange fringe bikini is from River Island. Each villa has 2 bikes outside: with basket. How cute? Afternoon tea at the Palazzo Versace Dubai. Scones, clotted cream & a cappuccino. Medusa on the floors. Dinner at NUSR-ET Dubai. Wearing Zara head to toe with a LV Petit Malle. The infamous: SaltBae. Baklava for dessert. BOA for hookah & drinks. Cipriani for lunch: it's one of my favs. I've tried it in every city. Wearing a dress by Babes and Felines, Manolo Blahnik shoes & an Hermes Kelly bag. Spa day at the Talise Ottoman Spa at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray in the palms. I have been doing this massage almost every time I'm in Dubai since the first time I ever went. It is called "Royal Ottoman"; a traditional 'kese' mitt body polish and foam massage, while sitting on a warm marble slab in a Turkish bath room, and getting your hair shampooed and scalp massaged , followed by a honey mask to revitalize your complexion. It is to die for. After all of that, you can rest in an alcove by the pool wrapped in towels while drinking this delicious yogurt drink they make while snacking on dates, apricots & cashews. Goodies from Dior. Flamingo Room for brunch. It is the cutest decor & setup. I have been to Tasha's in Johannesburg, South Africa, which is owned by the same person. Bronzy beach day: had to do a photo shoot at the beach. Dinner at ZUMA. The orange dress I am wearing is made by my sister, Kiran. It is so beautiful. Will be released soon. Shoes are JESSICA RICH COLLECTION & bag is Celine. Had the best dessert at ZUMA: sweet potato ice cream. Took a few more dress pics since I love this dress so much. Afternoon tea at the Burj Al Arab. Outfit was from Fashion Nova, shoes were JESSICA RICH COLLECTION, and bag is Hermes. Their afternoon tea is set up in 5 courses; it includes a pre appetizer, appetizer, trays of sandwiches, a sorbet to cleanse the palette & a huge tower of scones and sweets. And of course, champagne & tea. Headed to Dollhouse Dubai to get my nails done. Kept it simple with some Shake Shack. Breakfast & pool day at the Palazzo Versace Dubai. Car twins! Ready for my flight back home. Changed into pyjamas on the plane before removing my makeup and going to bed. (This will be on YouTube as well). Bye bye Dubai. See you soon.
